  1. I have a 2015 Edge Titanium AWD with the 3.5L engine. I have about 17,000 miles on it. Before the summer my mechanic (non-Ford) was doing an oil change, and noticed some oil on the outside of the PTU. He wasn't sure where it was coming from, but told me to have Ford check it out. I didn't have time during July and August, so I just got it to the Ford dealer today. They checked it out and told me that they will replace the PTU free of charge, but they will not be able to get it till early October.

     

    At least they are replacing it for free without giving me a hard time.

     

  2. The driver's door on my Edge was making a squeaking noise when it was opened, I showed it to my mechanic (not dealer) and he told me that the forward edge of the door panel was rubbing against the front side panel. He used a tool to force the door panel back just a bit and the noise went away.

     

    Apparently the door panel had slipped forward a little.

  3. Does anyone know how to turn off the side sensing and parking aid systems?

     

    Sometimes when I am driving in slow traffic (New York!) it starts beeping. It also turns down the volume of the telephone conversation through the bluetooth connection, making it very difficult to continue the conversation.

  4. I have had my Edge Titanium since May. The lane keeping system has worked all along. The past 3 weeks it is not working. I have tried to change the warning intensity from medium to high, and the mode from warn only to warn and adjust just to see if it makes any difference, but it still doesn't work. I don't get any error messages.

     

    Anybody have any ideas?

  5. I had been very unhappy with the sound of the system, particularly with the lack of treble. Using the maximum treble boost setting the sound was still "muddy". I was thinking of replacing the tweeters to see if that would help.

     

    I just discovered that the treble control is reversed !! If I set the treble all the way to minus I get incredibly clear and brilliant high end sound. It is crazy, but it works.

    We'd probably have to get all the users with build dates within that time frame to report if they've had any leaking issues and what their build date was. Then we may be able to single out a few days, a week, etc. that seems to be where the problem lies.

     

    My build date is Feb 25. I got the letter from Ford, but I have not had any leaks that I have noticed, even though we have had some very heavy rains.

    I'm surprised the 750 Miliamps is not enough to keep it charged when running Waze. Even if it is a wash.

     

    I take it you are using the same exact car charger to test both? Because I don't think the 12v outlet would make a difference...only the charger itself.

    I have now purchased a charge-only USB cable -

     

    BlueRigger Rapid Charge Micro USB Cable - 6 Feet (does not support data transfer)

     

    I am now getting 1100 miliamp from the USB port.

    I am using the same splitter, which has two cigarette lighter type sockets, and the same cigarette lighter charger.

  9. I am using a suction cup mount that I bought at an AT&T store for $35 3 years ago. It is very sturdy and has a flexible (but stiff) neck that can be adjusted for best positioning. It does not solve the dangling wire issue.

     

    I have another problem with the phone (Galaxy S5) in my new Edge. If I plug it into the USB port I get only 450 miliamps of charge. Plugging it into the 12 volt power source with a cigarette lighter charger I get 750 miliamps. In my old car I use to get 1100 miliamps. If I use Waze navigation on my phone I need over 1000 miliamps to keep the phone from discharging. Does anybody have a solution to this problem?
